Hi all,
Here the Allure models do not come with a reversing camera and if you want one, you need to take Visio Park 2 which costs a lot, so I did not take it. However, in some countries you get the option of adding Visio Park 1 to an Allure as well. I did some investigation in Service Box and compared my car and another Allure with Visio Park 1 and found out that the tailgate harnesses are the same in both cars (part 98 188 928 80). Thus it should be possible to (at least physically) connect a reversing camera without changing the harness. There's a different harness for Visio park 2, so that's out of question. On a model without reversing camera, there's just a blanking plate near the license plate, so physically it's just a matter of replacing the blanking plate with the camera.
So I set out to try.
OLD INFORMATION BELOW. IF YOU WANT REVERSING CAMERA FOR YOUR 3008, JUST ORDER PART 1647580180 - it contains everything you need.

Based on my research, the parts needed were:
98 093 010 80 PANORAMIC VISION CAMERA
- FR PANORAMIC VISUAL ASSISTANCE + RR VISIO PARK 2 OR WITH REAR PANORAMIC VISUAL ASSISTANCE VISIO PARK1
98 138 191 XT CAMERA TRIM
- WITH REAR PANORAMIC VISUAL ASSISTANCE VISIO PARK1 OR FR PANORAMIC VISUAL ASSISTANCE + RR VISIO PARK 2
98 138 190 80 VISUAL ASSIST. CAMERA MOUNTING
- WITH REAR PANORAMIC VISUAL ASSISTANCE VISIO PARK1 OR FR PANORAMIC VISUAL ASSISTANCE + RR VISIO PARK 2
98 210 182 80 ADDITIONAL TAILGATE HARNESS
- FR PANORAMIC VISUAL ASSISTANCE + RR VISIO PARK 2 OR WITH REAR PANORAMIC VISUAL ASSISTANCE VISIO PARK1
I've now ordered them (Approx 250 eur. The additional harness was expensive, other parts relatively cheap). There's a hatch on the inside of the tailgate that can be used to access the camera very easily. I had a quick look, but didn't notice a point where the additional harness connects to the tailgate harness. I'd be very happy, if someone with Visio Park 1 could take a few photos of the cable coming from the camera and how it is connected to the tailgate harness.
Then I'm sure I'll need someone to code the car to actually enable the camera, but I'll worry about that at the point I've got everything connected...
Anyway, I'll keep you posted.
